I think I'd like to say that 0-height regions in a region chain are
ignored while laying out content. But what about a region that is non-zero
height, but still too small to fit any fragment of the named flow? I think
if you change #region1 above to 'height: 2px;' it still should have no
effect on how margins are displayed in #region2 (assuming default-sized
line boxes).
